Heading South

Today we begin to head in a southerly direction. We're going about 150 miles to the southeastern corner of Maine, to the town of Wells. We will be about 50 miles North of Boston. The plan is to stay in Wells for the next 2 weeks, as there is plenty to explore from there. While there, we will plot out our route down the East Coast.
It's definately feeling like Fall here. The trees are turning colors fast, and we woke up this morning to a pretty heavy frost. Daytime high temperatures have been in the mid 60's. The past couple of days have been sunny, but there's a bit of a bite to the wind. We've managed to make it out onto the Golf Course a couple times, and that's still a work in progress (for me).
Wednesday Joyce and I took a drive to Campobello International Park. This was the summer home for the Roosevelt's. FDR spent his summers thereas a child, then used it as his retreat during his presidency. This "summer cottage" has 14 bedrooms! The property is on an island which is part of New Brunswick, Canada. There was a little bit of money there. From there, we took a drive inland where we drove about 125 miles through the trees, back to Ellsworth.
